As a trans woman, can confirm, getting electrolysis on the upper lip is the stuff of nightmares. i can’t imagine something as big as a bee stinger hitting you there.

Gerrymandering would absolutely not be allowed if we lived in a fair society, but we do not.

It just means the internet is built on a very flimsy stack of technologies and any of them failing causes huge downstream issues. We saw that with AWS, and now with Cloudflare.

It’s only concerning if there are no alternatives, but as it stands there are other companies that all of these websites could have done a failover to when both AWS or Cloudflare went down. But they decided that their websites having a single point of failure was worth the risk over paying for having a proper backup system ready to go.

Maybe Verisign can go down next taking down all .com and .net dns lookups. Also .cc and .name, but those are less popular.
